"Imari creates a fun, supportive, "intimidation-free" learning environment. She has an excellent teaching style that embraces the needs of learners new to bellydance as well as those with more experience. Attending her class has been a wonderful, positive way to unwind at the end of the work day and an enjoyable way to "sneak" exercise into my schedule on a consistent basis. I highly recommend her classes."

"I have created a second family. I never feel uncomfortable or have to worry about what I look like because I'm always told I'm beautiful no matter what. I have extra shoulders to lean on anytime I'm in need. It's a wonderful, entertaining and hard work out. Well worth it, and I wouldn't give it up for the world."

"Gorgeous, sultry Lisa (Imari) is also delightfully sweet and funny. In addition to being a beautiful dancer and electric performer, Lisa is also a gifted, approachable teacher who brings the gift and fun of Belly Dance to women of all ages and abilities. She makes everyone feel comfortable and welcome! No matter how many times I have taken Lisa's classes myself, I am always transported by the sights and sounds of the great music, colorful, flowing veils and hipscarves AND by Lisa's (Imari's) energetic presence!"

"I love Imari's dance style and teaching skills. She is the best and I brag her up to anyone I can. She is so beautiful with a very sexy voice and body which only adds to the fun. I feel that she is really into teaching and wants other women to learn and love themselves and their bodies. I only see positive from her which makes me want her around more. So many women need someone like Imari to give them a boost...I thank Imari so much for having her workshop and really hope she will come back to Augusta again. She is so inspiring to me."

"I have been to only two classes thus far but they are helping me get in touch with my body and relearn what used to come naturally to me; movement and sensuality are a natural part of our human nature and bellydancing is helping me to reconnect to this part of my 'self '."
